Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

In reality, Shen Xiaojun barely needed to take care of the baby. He only looked for her when he needed to eat. Sometimes, he was fed with formula, so she didn't

even have to wake up for him.

Haitong glanced at her friend.

After so many years of friendship, Shen Xiaojun instantly understood the look.

She touched her face and asked, "Tongtong, have I gained weight?"

"Not fat," Haitong said with a smile. "Just a little round."

Shen Xiaojun sighed. "Come on, I know I've gained weight. I eat, sleep, wake up, and eat again—just like my son. We've basically been living like pigs for a month. It'd be strange if I didn't gain weight."

She had been taking supplements every day, recovering well, but her weight was increasing fast.

She had already told Su Nan that once her confinement period was over, she was going to start losing weight.

"I need to lose weight, I really do," she muttered.

Haitong laughed. "You're not fat at all. You don't need to lose weight. Besides, you're breastfeeding, so of course you're eating more—it's perfectly normal."

Her good friend had always been a foodie.

Su Nan chimed in, "See? I keep telling you you're not fat, and now Tongtong is saying the same thing."

Still not convinced, Shen Xiaojun turned to Audrey. Audrey smiled and reassured her, "You're not fat."

Finally satisfied, Shen Xiaojun stopped talking about losing weight.

The family of three stayed for about ten minutes before heading off to visit other important relatives with the baby.

Haitong and the others remained at the Su house until the afternoon before heading home.

Since Kathryn and her husband were coming, Haitong asked Zhan Yin to drop her off at the Shang residence first, and then she returned home with Audrey and the others.

When she saw Kathryn, Haitong smiled and complimented her, "Long time no see, Kathryn. You look even more beautiful."

Kathryn was glowing with happiness, the radiance of a newlywed.

Kathryn returned the compliment with a smile. "Tongtong, you're still as beautiful as ever. I've seen a lot of pregnant women, but you're by far the most beautiful one I've ever seen."
